I don't know where the bug, but may be fallback to default value of ispell-dictionary-alist if (ispell-aspell-find-dictionary) unsuccessfull? This is not fix bug, but fix spell checking in cases like described.
I think this change should do it. Does it give good results? *** ispell.el 09 Oct 2005 11:42:04 -0400 1.181 --- ispell.el 16 Oct 2005 20:32:45 -0400 *************** *** 900,906 **** (call-process ispell-program-name nil t nil "dicts") (buffer-string))))) (setq ispell-dictionary-alist !
